WATCH: Parents, are you ready to see this child's messy room?!
It's part of learning, right?
Assigning chores to your kids is important. If anything, it teaches them about accountability.
Especially when it comes to ensuring that their rooms are cleaned.
It also helps prepare them for adulthood.
We love that saying that says as parents we should be empowering our children, not enabling them.
So in saying that, when we saw this video, we were left a bit traumatised at the level of untidiness of this young girl's room.
The mother, whose TikTok account is dedicated to creating fun and entertaining cleaning videos, shows a time lapse of the messy room being transformed...
WATCH the initial video that shows the messy room and the start of the cleaning...

The comments section blew up with other parents saying that the mother shouldn't have done it for her.
Some people even shared their own experiences, from the daughter's perspective. Check it out.
"My mum did this for me, helped me and now that i’ve moved out i’m religiously clean & tidy, that’s how she taught me to live 👍🏼"
"Sometimes my kid starts this and becomes so overwhelmed by it. Mummy needs to go in and help a little to push things forward."

We definitely can understand that sometimes, it starts off as messy and then the mess takes over.
But teaching your kids responsibility on how to deal with keeping their space clean is definitely something that will help them in life.
Not just in the obvious way, but also with handling things in a better way mentally.
